ELIZA CHAPTER 57 – THE SAME NAME, PART 1

Act 1, Part 4

(Translator notes for anyone thatforced to act as a girl by Eliza when in the otten soer kid that threw a rock at Eliza and subsequently got arrested Eliza faked his execution, and kept him as a potential body double because he looks si that their shared eye color, red, is very rare and impossible to fake, and created a fake identity, “Elise Cherstoka,” for him to act as in order to spread misinformation and confuse any potential future eneirl currently living at Eliza’s irl with a sickly body that’s currently recovering at the Kaldia mansion, since the Kaldia domain has a climate that’s well suited for her illness Hopefully this suotten the details, as these two characters haven’t appeared for quite a while The next 10+ chapters will be told from Ratoka’s point of view, and it’s actually narrated in third person instead of first person, so hopefully I do a good job, as it’sthe third person perspective)

……Ratoka smelled the faint scent of flowers, and opened his eyes

He still couldn’t get used to the feeling of these clothes against his body He missed the familiar scent of straw, and he laid and rolled on the bed a bit before getting up

Since it’s not his usual wooden bed, but covered fully with soft cloths instead, it’s very unco up earlier than before, thatabout it

Then, he sighed deeply There was a single flower placed by the pillow, giving his entire room a sweet smell

This room is narrow and made of solid stone walls, and the loud snores of people in the connecting rooms echo loudly in his roo the , and let the faint sunlight shi+ne in

It’s a little before dawn

As the ed sunrise that only lasted for a short ti was the ht

He kept watching the sky until it turned coy until then, finally began functioning

When he reht him the beauty of sunrises, he felt a pain in his chest She was a sister in training from the church that had been out on patrol He only knew her for a short time, but, that’s exactly why he remembered her eye color, as clear blue as the sky, so clearly

It was alot out of bed, and knocked on the wood and iron knocker installed in thefinally interrupted that annoying snoring, and hauled the sordid men out of their dreams

“It’s ed men”

“……Oh, ohh Morn’in, Ratoka”

“All of you, would never wake up at all if I went easy on you, every ……”

He’s already been here for teeks Whoever wakes up first in theis supposed to wake everyone else up with the knocker, but ever since he’s come here, he’s been the only person that’s ever woke everyone else up

Thisas well, the adult soldiers blew hi down ten times, Ratoka reached his physical limits

Although this always happened, the uncouth soldiers would always stick around watching hiot knocked out of his hand Even ive him time to catch his breath as they hooted at him

The jeers today were,

“Oi oi, how pathetic! Even Charlie was better than this when she was five years old!”

“If you can’t even beat a five year old little girl, all you’re gonna be good for is harvesting wheat!”

“That’s why, young master Ratoka is an ‘ojou-san,’ I say!”

That’s as being said

Ratoka had been forced to the barracks by the earl, and the earl had told the soldiers to “give Ratoka the sah,” so of course the soldiers would co, and since Ratoka wasn’t as good as her, everyone called him “ojou-san”

Ratoka already had a co hi lady, only increased his humiliation

“Shut up! I’m not the same as that Charlie bastard, this isswordsmanshi+p!!”

Ratoka was so irritated that he shouted out at the soldiers, and they fell silent for a et so even louder than before

“Charlie you say, hahaha, she’s never even touched a sword before she came here to train with us!”

At that retort, even Ratoka was unable to find a co to say, so all he could do was curse at everyone in foul language

nobles learn the sword starting fro sister that had stayed in Cyril village several years ago had definitely said that to him

At first, he had thought that he should go through with and endure this sword training, but now he can’t take all the jeering anymore Now that he’s discovered his skill level, his already battered pride is in shreds

More than anything else, he hates the person he’s being cohter of the noble Ratoka hates , the current domain lord

Seeing Ratoka’s face distort as he was unable to even express his anger and frustration properly, even the soldiers realized that theyThat laughter that was so annoying had finally stopped, and it’s quiet now, but Ratoka was too angry to care anymore

“-Well, um, what is it You shouldn’t hate our lord so much”

So the soldiers mureeotten cooler

“-What is all this!!”
